Question—Are there not errors in
the Catholic Bible caused by transla-
tions? May there not be an error
In the text: "Thou art Peter and
upon this rock 1 will build my
Church and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it?”
Bible Is God’s
He inspired the
[ writers so that they wrote what He
desired them to write, and while
writing He preserved them from tbe
possibility of error. God did not
inspire the various translators of
ra seem vj ueuuuiu sure- t!le B!ble- But R wa3 Go[1*s work
left no choice but to ae-|tbat they^weretranslating^and we
different to their action that He
would permit them to pervert His
inspired, written word. The Provi-
dence of God will not permit a
Christian to believe that He failed
to protect the integrity of the Bible.
That accidental errors may have been
inserted; that a name or a date may
have been changed; that marginal
notes may have been inserted into
the text: one can admit all this.
But that any essential doctrine was
substantially changed, or that any
false teaching was inserted, cannot
be accepted by Christians. If one
were arguing with non-Christians,
then It would be necessary to take
up the disputed text, and show by
critical examination that it is gen-
uine and authentic.

Washington, D. C., October 3.—
The good to be accomplished by the
National Council of Catholic Men "is
intended for all of our countrymen,
regardleBH of faith, conditions or
race," according to a statement is-
sued here by Admiral William S.
Beason, newly elected national presi-
dent of that organization.
Admiral Benson appeals to the laity
of the Church to "take up the Apos-
tolate so frequently heard of, but eo
rarely exercised in an intelligent and
organized way." Tbe first duty de-
volving upon the newly elected offi-
cern he declares to be that of in-
forming the Catholics of the United
States, -.’pry many of whom have no
proper conception of the work at
tend.
Admiral Season's statement, given
at the request of the N. C, W. C.
News Service, is as follows:
"I am deeply sensible of the great
honor the National Council of Catho-
lic Sfen have done tne In electing me
as the first president of this Inspir-
ed movement, and I use this term
inspired advisedly, and in its broad-
est application.
"As my rule of life for more than
fifty years has been that of service
to country and God with whatever
fervor I have been able to muster,
and as the requirements of Hie pres-
ent situation seem to demand serv-
ice. I was I... ... .. .
cept, and in doing so I feel that 1
can with propriety call upon my fel-
low Catholic men and women of the
whole country to rally to the colors
that have been placed in our keep-
:ng by the Hierarchy of Holy Church
and go forth to service.
Benefit to All Americans.
“While this is a Catholic move-
ment, tbe good lo be accomplished
is intended to all of our country-
men, regardless of faith, condition
or race, for all true Americans. We
Catholics feel, however, that pro-
made known the words of fessing the faith, claiming for it
said what we do, it is our bounden duty
Savior, to t0 show by acts and example that
" ' ifullylwa mean what we say. We must be
light! better Christians, better neighbors,
be j better citizens generally, and we
_.o our realize we can help each other more
souls and aroused to follow Him by united effort rather than in small
"■— communities.
"During the great war. and in
time of peace, the Catholic manhood
and womanhood have emblazoned
the pages of history with tteir deeds
of valor and of sacrifice tor man-
kind, and the best ideals of our be-
loved country, and as every thought-
ful man looks with concern on the
Immediate future of affairs through-
out the country, it seems peculiarly
opporttine that this te the time to
sincerely commune with one’s own
conscience, and determine if he is
doing a man’s part, a citizen’s part,
in solving the difficulties which
confront us. , For myself I have no
doubt but we in America wlll solve ;
our every difficulty—present or fu- i
tare. ]

Need of Spreading Information.
“As a result of contact with many
delegates from every part of cur
country, I am constrained to the
conclusion that many, very many,
of our Catholic people have no prop-
„1IU er conception of the work at hand,
many wonder what ft ia all about,
- and the .why of it. hence the first
duty devolving upon the new officers
is to continue the work that has
been so well started by the admin-
istrative committee of the Welfare
Council, and educate ail of our peo-
ple to the fact that a great respon-
sibility is ours, that for the first
time in the history of the Church

appealed to the Laity to organize

“The plan is so splendid, the pur-

truth and necessity for orderly and

THE WE AND THE BIBLE.
Protestants whe still cling to the

Cstliolics" ublter the Bible must
have ' been startled at- the interest
shown in the Cambridge Bible Con-
gress. Here are a few additional
facts given by the London Uni-
verse which it may be worth re-
membering:

Pope for directions: "The price

reply, "and I will pay the differ-

recently confessed that while the
late Chief Justice White was a

cover that any act of his; public;
or private, ted given.;-rise'-to thr
suspicion that he bore a political al-
legiance to any other country bit
tbe United States. The same might
also be confessed of the thousands
of Catholic boys who gave their
lives for their country in the lata
war, and of the few Catholics now
in public office, Admiral Benson,
for example, who would probably be
surprised to learn that, as-a Cath-
olic, he "owes an allegiance that is
foreign to the Government of the
United States.’’
The Imperial Wizard’s error
arise a from the fact .that ha is un-
able to conceive of a higher alle-
giance than an allegiance which is
political. He is probably as un-
I familiar with the Bible as he Is
fl)pvith the Constitution of the United
- States, but a very brief examina-
tion of the Sacred Writings will
show how in the teaching both of
the Old and the New Testaments, i

From the ranks of American '

strikingly resembles in his hatred
of the Catholic Church, has come.
Nor has any American Catholic
ever experienced the least difficulty
in taking an oath of allegiance to
his State or-to the Federal Govern-

ot course, attribute this easiness to
Catholic sophistry and utter lack of

Boston, answering questions which
bad been sent to him, explained the
difference between the Ku Kltix
Kian and the Knights of Columbus.
The question proposed to Dr. Con-
rad was as follows: "If the Ku Klux
Klan is an outlaw, as you say, what
have you to say about the Knights
of Columbus?" His answer was:
“The two questions have no rela-
tion except antagonism,” declared
Dr. Conrad. "The Klan is vicious,
infamous, pernicious; a very arrow
aimed at tho heart of liberty, while
Knights are a patriotic re-
organization which, how-
we may differ in policies, we
can not but respect as a factor for
good in the nation."

whoso efforts
the Discovery of America came to
be celebrated as a national holi-
day.
Of all historical anniversaries
this, it appears to ue, is the one
that should especially appeal ■ to
Americana of every race and class
and creed, for all share alike in
the benefits accruing from the great
discovery. Each country has ita own
heroes and its own glorious anni-
versaries. But Columbus is the one
hero and his discovery the one
achievement that appeals to every
human heart that beats in this
Western world.
Sentiment is sometimes a strong-
er motive than even self-interest.
There are many reasons of self-in-
terest why the different couutrl :s
of tiie American continent should be
united. For the most part, their
destinies seem linked toge&di.-. What
; will injure one, in the long run will
injure the others. What is to the
advantage of one, is sure to'iss of
like advantage to the others, it
seems to be fated that no throne
shall sway them. Destiny has
marked them as republics. What
remains of monarchy is sure to
grow weak with tbe Waning years.
, As they draw together, mutual com-
■ merce ami relations will be a strong-
er tie to hold them.
But is there no roam for tbe crea-
tion of a strong sentimental cause
of unity and kinship iu the common,
acceptance of Columbus Day as a
holiday for the wfcola continent?
The sentiment that makes nations
acclaim the same tero and ootebrate
the same ac lavement will be a

Question—I have been told that It
Is wrong to pray tor a person who
died tn sin. Is that Catholic teach-
ing?
Answer—-In practice, it is not
Catholic leaching, which insists tjiat
we may pray fov each and every
soul that has departed this life. We
may not pray for the devil, nor for
those who are damned; but neither
may we say of any one In particular
that he haa lost his soul. Hence ft
ie that we may pray for all the dead
without exception. It is Impossible
to fathom the mysteries of the hu-
—J, no one but God
knows what part Ignorance and
good faith play in ijvea—tne ainfu.1
lives—of men. A single act of per-'
feet contrition restores the soul to
the friendship of Christ, and that
act may be conceived and executed
with the lust heart-beat. Pope Pius
IX has words that may bo applied
to your query: "Far be it from us
to dare set bounds to the boundless
mercy of God; far bo It from us to
desire to search into the depths of
tbe hidden counsels and judgments
of God, an abyss that the mind of
man cannot fathom. God, Who sees
clearly, searches and knows the
heart, the position, the thoughts and
intentions of each, In His supreme
mercy and goodness by no means
permits that anyone stiffer eternal
Punishment who has not ---
free will fallen into sin."
